Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In this episode, Barbara Mann, a professor of Cultural Studies and Hebrew Literature at The Jewish Theological Seminary, discusses how graphic novels serve as a unique space for historical discourse. Citing commercially-popular examples like Maus and The Rabbi’s Cat, Mann concludes that the language of graphic novels, their unique way of presenting anecdotes, and their narrators enable the form to explore historical narratives. She argues that through a conversation of language, cartoon visuals, and the literal story-telling space on the page, comics can mimic the experience of the past.
